Answer: Choice A
x+3y = 14
======================================================
Explanation:
The general template for standard form is Ax+By = C, where A,B,C are integers.
This immediately rules out choices C and D, since they don't fit the format mentioned.
To see which of A or B we can eliminate or confirm, plug (x,y) coordinates from the graph into each answer choice. The ultimate goal is to get a true statement.
For example, the graph shows that (x,y) = (2,4) is on the line. Plug this into choice A to get...
x+3y = 14
2+3(4) = 14
2+12 = 14
14 = 14 this is true
So far so good. The point (2,4) is on the line x+3y = 14. Repeat those steps for (-1, 5) and you should get another true result. So that would confirm choice A is the answer. You only need a minimum of two points to define a unique line, meaning we only need to verify two points on the line. Anything more is just extra busy work.
---------
If we tried (2,4) with choice B, then,
5x+3y = 14
5(2)+3(4) = 14
10+12 = 14
22 = 14 which is false
This indicates (2,4) is not on the line 5x+3y = 14. We can rule out choice B because of this.
Answer:
Tn = 3n-1
T6 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the arithmetic sequence;
2, 5...
first term a = 2
Common difference d = 5-2 = 3
nth term of an AP is expressed as Tn = a + (n-1)d
Tn = 2 + (n-1)(3)
Tn = 2 + 3n-3
Tn = 3n-1
Get the 6th term
T6 = 3(6)-1
T6 = 18-1
T6 = 17
Hence the 6th term of the sequence is 17
